For those still reeling with the “what the fuck” feeling from Sunday nights Future Island set, the dropping of their new single “Before the Bridge” couldn’t come at a better time. The track, one of the songs the group played during their bizarre (but great) set opening for Okkervil River and Titus Andronicus at First Avenue is a good look at the electro-goth-opera-kitchen sink collage that the band put together. While it takes a minute, once you let it soak in there is defiently some really cool stuff going on here. The single will be out soon on Thrill Jockey with no word on a future LP.

That Future Islands set was definitely weird.
